ROW for this purpose. Based on the applicant's request, staff scheduled the public hearing for Board of County Commissioner consideration of this application while these two issues remained. On September 21, 2020, the applicant submitted the following alternative language to address the two outstanding issues: Snow Storage The applicant suggests a new section 2.5 regarding snow storage that would read as follows: 2.5 Snow Stora --e on Marian Drive. Regardless of the Civil Plans submitted and considered by the County under Ordinance No. 2018-006rig approval to the Marian Meadows Planned Unit Development (PD -17- 00001), Conditional Use PermitCi U-17-00001), and Prelimina!y Plat (LP -17-00001), the Project shall include 70 -foot public right-of-way along Marian Drive. This 70 -foot right-of-way will satisfy the Coun 's requirement for snow storage, taking into consideration that additional snow storage area is being provided at the end of the County road turnaround. In an email to CDS, Public Works Director Mark Cook has confirmed that this would be adequate to comply with Condition #18 and address the snow storage issue. Commercial Uses The applicant suggested an amendment to Section 4.3 regarding commercial uses. This suggested language was further clarified in a discussion with the applicant's representative on September 30, and would read as follows: 4.3 RV Service Center. Within the oversight of SCRVR will be the implementation and/or operation of an RV Service Center and retail outlet. The construction and operation of the RV Service Center is subject to the a roval of a Conditional Use Permit to operate such a facility, but only in the event that Kittitas County Code allows this use by Conditional Use Permit in the future. At the discretion of SCRVR or the Landowner, regardless of any time limitations set forth in this Development Agreement, an application for a Conditional Use Permit to construct and operate the RV Service Center may be submitted pursuant to Chapter 17.60A of Kittitas County Code and shall be evaluated in good faith by the County for compliance with the criteria set forth for approval of conditional uses.
